In winter, dark nights and sunny days. Luscious, complicated, mythic, delightful, discordant. Headlined by guest artist, former Martha Graham Principal Dancer Pascal Rioult and his eponymous New York-based Company, Kanopy Dancers will dance his dark masterwork “Wien.” It is a whirlpool of bodies, the moral decay of Vienna society danced to a Viennese waltz by Ravel. It shares the evening with a pair of romantic duets – excerpts from “Views of the Fleeting World” and “On Distant Shores” – danced by RIOULT DANCE NY dancers. “Prelude & Fugue,” a work of Lisa Thurrell’s magic, and “Luminous” a premiere by choreographer Robert E. Cleary fulfills our Valentine card.

Pre-Show Talk Opening Night Friday Feb 12, 7:00-7:30pm, Promenade Hall, Overture Center Show ticket or ticket stub to Rioult: Hearts Entwined for admittance. Artists will discuss Martha Graham’s influence in relation to their own creative work.
